Midtown’s Favorite Restaurant & Gathering Spot

Hey Atlanta!  Welcome to The Nook on Piedmont Park.  Established in 2009, The Nook is Midtown’s true neighborhood tavern –our very own Cheers.   We love being part of our Midtown Atlanta community, our neighbors, giving back, being green, and dishing out great food and amazing drinks to our friends and neighbors.

In the heart of Midtown Atlanta,  The Nook is a short stroll from Midtown’s business district, and sits across from the beautiful Piedmont Park.  That view of Piedmont Park, of course, is one of the many reasons why The Nook has been voted the Best Patio in Atlanta years running. The patio, food, drinks and, most importantly, people make The Nook a perfect place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or weekend brunch. Just the best place to eat and have fun in Midtown.

We love dogs, so we created our driveway patio to accommodate Fido!

We have TVs throughout and a big screen for sports viewing.

To brag a little – we’ve won awards for our Stuffed Burgers, Shrimp & Grits, White Bean Chicken Chili, & Totchos.  We’ve also been featured on The Travel Channel, The Food Network, Food and Wine, Huffpost, the Today Show, and boatloads of online blogs.  We love our local brews (20 beers on tap), Kat’s Reserve Wine List offers great wines for a steal (everyone should afford great wine), we offer the Nook’s Fishbowl size drinks, and our Bloody Best is the best Bloody Mary in town!

We strive to provide local organic deliciousness.  If you’re looking for the best burger in Atlanta (we won Battle of the Burgers 3 years in a row), the best local pub with 20 beers on tap, or if you need something lighter (like hand pattied blackbean burgers) we’ve got you covered.

See you at The Nook! Cheers!

GREEN is the Color of our Values…

Okay – I know there are tons of places all around Atlanta where you can gather with your friends and play trivia, practically every night of the week. But there’s only one place where I’ll be playing trivia tonight and that’s The Nook on Piedmont Park

With one of the most popular locations in the city the Nook Bar and Cafe in Atlanta, Georgia on Piedmont Park is definitely one of the hot spots for dining and having cocktails in the popular city.

Yahoo Voices

The Nook on PIedmont Park, located in the heart of Midtown, is part Pub, part new-age southern, and just great.

The ATL Insider

A fried Twinkie? I knew before I had it that it was going to be a hit in my book. I mean honestly who can turn down fried desserts- I for one, can not. Imagine funnel cake with a creamy filling… it was scrumptious! The fried Twinkie wasn’t the only highlight of my meal at The Nook, the meal as well as the ambience was perfect…..

Atlanta Dish

Stop in on a Thursday night and you’ll find that there are some crazy burger “toppings” here that have a pretty unique location, too. That’s because what The Nook has become best known for—apart from that panoramic view and a severely-addictive appetizer specialty—is that all-too-rare burger subspecies, the stuffed burger.

Serious Eats

The recently revamped brunch cocktail menu at the Nook on Piedmont Park reimagines the classics without all the bells and whistles..

Creative Loafing

Come to find, the Bloody Best is not even close to the most powerful drink on this cocktail menu. For reference, check out the “Fishbowl” section of the menu where each drinks carries a whopping 16 ozs of liquor. That’s more than a bottle of beer’s worth of the hard stuff, per drink. If anyone needs me, I’ll be in Atlanta.
